“We read books – and other words, too.” Two cousins read and discuss a wide variety of books from self pub to indie to trad pub. Episodes are divided into a “Spoiler Free” conversation and then a clearly delineated “Spoiler-y” discussion, so listeners can enjoy every episode regardless of whether they’ve read the book or not. Most of the books covered on the podcast are Fantasy, Science Fiction, o... more

I tried listening to a couple of eps and found the hosts deeply infatuated with themselves, unlikeable and unpleasant. A case for maybe trimming the podcast output. Not every armchair literary critic needs a platform. Pass.
This podcast has quickly become my go-to comfort listen. It’s like chatting with friends about books, and what could be better than that? I have discovered a lot of books I would have never known about, and had fun listening to episodes about books I know well. I highly recommend this wonderful podcast!
I enjoy listening as I drive to and from work, and disengage from my worries while they analyze books and drinks, words and life. I tuned in when Dan Fitzgerald came on, and have stayed for the company. 😜
Fun and friendly, Fiction Fans is a great podcast for discussions, interviews, and amusing banter.
Sara and Lily are the best—I’m not a big podcast listener, but I make time for this one. It’s always funny, engaging, and, dare I say it, educational. The vibe is relaxed and chill, and you feel like you are part of the conversation (or, at least, wish you were). That’s also a kindness that permeates the whole endeavor, even at is snarkiest, which is a welcome bright spot in the toilet that is 2021.
